BEEF IN BEER IN THE SLOW COOKER



Beef in Beer in the Slow Cooker image

Delicious tender beef cooked in the slow cooker with beer, shallots, bacon, and mushrooms. The Guiness® makes a lovely gravy without tasting overly strong of beer. This is quite a meaty dish so would also be nice with potatoes and carrots added. I serve this with crusty French bread to mop up the juices. Hearty and warming to come home to. Cooks in 5 hours in the slow cooker; however it would not hurt it to be cooked all day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for slow-cooker chili because they are tough cuts of meat that become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker: This will help to develop the flavor of the chili and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of beans: Different types of beans will add different flavors and textures to your chili. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and white beans.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your chili. Some good options include onions, peppers, celery, and carrots.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer will add flavor to the chili, so it's important to use a beer that you enjoy drinking. A dark beer, such as a stout or porter, will give the chili a richer flavor.
  • Season the chili to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of heat with chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to develop and the chili to thicken.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some good options include cheese, sour cream, onions, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker beef and beer chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious chili that your family and friends will love.
